ooh surgery wow Flashcards
What is body dysmorphobia?
Pt has a preoccupation with a defect of appearance
This leads to significant distress
Leads to associated mental disorders eg - anorexia nervosa
If pt isn’t happy with their face - orthognathic surgery won’t help them
Who is involved in the MDT for orthognathic surgery?
Psychologist
Orthodontist
Maxillofacial surgeon
Technologies
Restorative dentist
SLT
What should be considered in history for orthognathic surgery?
Congenital cause
Acromegaly - hormone with adenoma in pituitary
Pathology - cysts and tumours
Racial characteristics - don’t need to be changed
Psychological motivation
What 3 points of reference must be recorded on a facebow?
Condylar heads
Orbitale
Maxillary dentition
How is 3D planning carried out for orthognathic surgery?
Soft tissues imaging - stereophotogrametry
Skeletal tissue - CBCT
Dental tissue - intra-oral scan
All compiled together for a pt image
What maxillary problems may need orthognathic surgery?
Prognathic or retrognathic
Vertical excess or deficiency
Narrow or wide
Asymmetry
What mandibular problems may need orthognathic surgery?
Prognathic or retrognathic
Asymmetry
What chin problems may need orthognathic surgery?
Progenia or retrogenia
Vertical deficiency or excess
Asymmetry
What are the stages of tx before and after orthognathic surgery?
Tooth alignment, eliminate crowding spaces and crossbites
Coordination of arches
Decompensation of incisors (correcti inclination)
Flatten occlusal plane
Surgical fixation
Post-surgical ortho fine-tuning
What orthognathic surgeries can be carried out for the maxilla?
Le Fort I osteotomy
Anterior maxillary osteotomy
Posterior maxillary osteotomy
What is a Le Fort I osteotomy?
Disarticulating maxilla from base of skull and move it to a pre-planned position
Moves superiorly, inferiorly and forward
Cannot be moved posteriorly due to pterygoid plates
What orthognathic surgery is carried out for the mandible and what are the steps?
Sagittal split mandibular osteotomy
Separate the ramus from the body
Body can be moved in any direction
What orthognathic surgery is carried out for the chin and what are the steps?
Genioplasty
Inferior border of the mandible can move in any direction
Advancement, set-back and rotation
Augmentation and reduction
What are the signs and symptoms of mandibular fracture?
Pain, swelling, limitation of function
Occlusal derangement
Numbness of lower lip
Mobile teeth
Bleeding
Anterior open bite
Facial asymmetry
Deviation of the mandible to the opposite side
Step deformity
How do the muscles cause mandibular displacement?
Muscles work in opposite directions
Masseter, temporalis and medial pterygoid elevate the mandible and geniohyoid and anterior belly of digastric depress the mandible
How are mandibular fractures classed based on surrounding tissue involvement?
Simple - soft tissue intact
Compound - affects surrounding soft tissue
Comminuted - bone broken into multiple small pieces
What are the different sites of mandibular fracture?
Angle
Subcondylar
Parasymphyseal
Body
Ramus
Coronoid
Condylar (intra or extra capsular)
Alveolar process
How are mandibular fractures classed based on the direction of the fracture line?
Favourable - minimises displacement
Unfavourable - encourages displacement
What factors cause mandibular displacement?
Direction of fractures line
Opposing occlusion
Magnitude of force
Mechanism of injury
Intact soft tissues
Other associated fractures
What radiographs are used in mandible fractures?
PA mandible and OPT - right angles to each other
CBCT
How are mandibular fractures treated?
Control pain and infection
Reduction - putting segments in correct anatomical position
Fixation
What are the options for fixation?
Closed reduction and fixation (IMF)
ORIF - open reduction and internal fixation
What is the difference between open and closed reduction?
Open - expose bony areas surgically and reduce them directly with vision - most common
Closed - don’t open the fracture, you depend on the occlusion to guide the fracture into the correct alignment
What are the 5 surgical approaches for mandibular fractures?
Retro-mandibular approach
Raised on approach from inferior border
Pre auricular approach
Bicoronal flap - from one ear to the other
Endoscopic reduction and fixation
What is a step deformity?
An irregularity in the alignment of adjacent bone segments causing a visible or palpable step-like change in the bone contour
Sign of mandibular fracture
What is often used for Xenografts?
Bio-Oss
(Deproteinised bone matrix)
What are the principles of grafting?
Osteoconduction - the concept of scaffold that supports the bone forming cells
Osteoinduction - osteogenesis is induced through the recruitment of immature cells for bone formation
What local sites are used for bone grafting?
Chin
Ramus
Tuberosity
Coronoid process
What distant sites are used for bone grafting?
Iliac crest
Calvarium
What is the advantage of Bio-Oss?
Minimises resorption
What is applied after Bio-Oss?
GTR
Guided tissue regeneration membrane
What is an inter-positional graft?
Bone graft applied between inner and outer cortex to increase bone width
What is distraction osteogenesis?
Cutting bone (osteotomy), separating it to create a gap and then stretching the soft tissue to form bone from within
What are the steps of distraction osteogenesis?
Osteotomy
Latency - waiting for inflammatory cells to infiltrate and for soft tissue healing
Distraction (lengthening)
Consolidation - leave device in to hold bone in place
Bone remodelling
How is lengthening carried out in distraction osteogenesis?
Using a device, a key is turned so there is 1mm movement per day, 0.5mm in the morning, 0.5 in afternoon
Why os 1mm the max movement per day in distraction osteogenesis?
Any more would result in fibrous healing
What are the indications for zygomatic implants?
Severe maxillary atrophy
Sinus pneumatisation (increase in volume)
Avoids harvesting of bone graft
Hemimaxillectomy
